antises are in the order, Mantodea, of insects which contains over 2,400 species in about 460 genera in 33 families. Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantises have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey. Their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name of “praying” mantis.

This set was designed to supplement the existing Nature's Wonders sets in two specific areas; habitat and feeding. The set includes three variations on an orchid for the Pink Orchid Mantis (from Mantises of the World Volume 1) to reside on. The orchid model includes over 25 shaping morphs which allow stem bending, leaf shaping, and much more. Also is included a mantis headless body and head model. These two models have full material and shaping support for all the species of mantis included in the Nature's Wonders Mantis Base Set and Volume 1. Four new poses are included; a drooped headless body, a severed head on its side and a paired predator/prey feeding pose. Both models use the same coding from the original Mantis model so all existing poses will work, and vice versa.

It comes in both Poser and DAZ Studio native versions and support Firefly, 3Delight, Superfly and Iray render engines.

NOTE: This set requires the previous purchase of Nature's Wonders Mantises. Nature's Wonders Mantises of the World Volume 1 is required for use of species contained in that volume.
